- <ul>
- <li><b>Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)</b> for Cortex-A processor registers with standardized definitions for the GIC, FPU, MMU, Cache, and core access functions.</li>
- <li><b>System exception names</b> to interface to system exceptions without having compatibility issues.</li>
- <li><b>Methods to organize header files</b> that makes it easy to learn new Cortex-A microcontroller products and improve software portability. This includes naming conventions for device-specific interrupts.</li>
- <li><b>Methods for system initialization</b> to be used by each MCU vendor. For example, the standardized <a class="el" href="group__system__init__gr.html#ga93f514700ccf00d08dbdcff7f1224eb2" title="Function to Initialize the system. ">SystemInit()</a> function is essential for configuring the clock system of the device.</li>
- <li><b>Intrinsic functions</b> used to generate CPU instructions that are not supported by standard C functions.</li>
- <li>A variable to determine the <b>system clock frequency</b> which simplifies the setup of the system timers.</li>
